About This Quote

When we feel unsafe with someone and still stay with him, we damage our ability to discern trustworthiness in those we will meet in the future. Many of us have done this in the name of love. We allow ourselves to be treated unfairly by someone who is supposed to love us. We believe he is not capable of cheating on us because he has hurt our feelings so many times. But, later on, when we meet someone else who treats us more fairly, we are unable to trust him because we have been hurt so many times.
